You can try some of the projects from the kernel projects link on the newbies page. On Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 10:58 AM, Sakshi Malhotra <mails01@rediffmail.com>wrote:

This is annoying, two mail with same contents. this explains why thing are not working for you. Be a bit patient while group replies to you mail. Besides your focus is wrong, please try to learn as much as you can rather just thinking about the job. Yes most companies wont take you until you have relevant experience and/or you got a patch submitted upstream. so, i would suggest start working with user space stuff for some company and in the mean time hone your skills. My faq page on newbies will soon be up, you can get more info from there.

Have you tried with Linux embedded systems ? Hawkboard (OMAP-L138) is an open hardware system which require kind of development and you can put in practice, real word practice all you have learned about Linux Kernel, Check the TODO on this link http://groups.google.com/group/hawkboard/browse_thread/thread/52cc87992a120a... Hope it helps Victor Rodriguez

try to get involved into trivial things like kernel janitor first IMHO. NB: you sounds panic. What happen? the worlds won't end just because you don't become expert by tomorrow. And I don't know, this is the n*10^x times or so I read this kind of query. What happen to you people? Relax, ok? relax..... getting rejected? that's life. Not sure where to start? Who doesn't? Low on morale? Come on....are you killing somebody? So just calm down, take a deep breath and realize this is a real world. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
